Between sixty and seventy nurses applied for engagements, thanks to the active kindness of friends, who searched London for the purpose. Out of this number 11 were selected with great difficulty, owing to the very low calibre of many who offered. By Saturday 21 October, the band was completed as follows: 10 R.C.

Miss Nightingale expressed a strong desire, on leaving England, that any future nurses shd be trained in hosps and also in communities, so as to learn to work together. For this object the insts of St John’s House and of St Saviour’s, Osnaburgh St., offered to receive cands to board and lodge while they were learning at the hosps. These houses represented respectively high church and very high church opinions. The celebrated inst founded by Mrs Fry and conducted under evangelical auspices, in Devonshire Sq was obliged to decline doing the same on the ground that they had no room. These are the plain facts of the case. No party feeling has had anything to do with the appt of Miss Nightingale.

She at once appointed two other ladies to assist her in the selection of nurses, whose first step was to advertise for cands in the Record and the Guardian. While they dealt with individuals, she dealt with insts and communities, and her communications and success were as follows. The chaplain of St John’s House, Westminster, applied to the bishop of London on the 13th ult, saying that he was ready to go out and to take seven nurses. A Roman Catholic bishop in the metropolis on the same day made a similar applic to the War Office. No definite answer was given to either till Miss Nightingale was appointed, with full authority to form her own band, that band being subject to her in all matters relating to the hosp. The Roman Cath bishop agreed at once to these terms and signed a paper to that effect.
